Question

Help me please I’m taking a test:(

Round steak costs $6.95 per pound. Sara wants to buy 9.5 pounds of round steak which she estimates will cost $54.
Which statement about Sara's estimate is true?
O Sarah rounded $6.95 and 9.5 up. $54 is enough money to buy the steak.
O Sarah incorrectly multiplied 9 and 6. Her estimate should be $63.
O Sarah rounded 9.5 up to 10. Her estimate of $54 is too high.
Sarah rounded $6.95 and 9.5 down. Her estimate of $54 is too low.

Answer 1

Sarah incorrectly multiplied 9 and 6. her estimate should be $63

Answer 2

The 4th option. "Sarah rounded $6.95 and 9.5 down. Her estimate of $54 is too low."

Explanation:

Well, if you check Sara's math during option 4, you will find that when you round 6.95 and 9.5 down, you get 6 and 9.

`6 * 9 = 54`

If she would have done it correctly, she would have gotten "66. 025"

Therefore, 54 dollars is too low.
